    Power supply died... which replacement?

    Howdy all,

    My power supply died on me :/ It was from an old PC so I was kind of expecting it. Anyhow, I'm gonna order a new one tomorrow, but which should I get:

    Antec TruePower 650w - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-...-12v-120mm-fan

    Coolermaster Silent Pro M 600w - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-...-12v-135mm-fan

    Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 600w - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-...s12v-135mm-fan

    I'd prefer modular really because my case is small. I have the following in the machine:

    AMD Phenom II 955BE (125w TDP) - OC @ 3.8ghz
    8gb DDR3 RAM - running 4 sticks @ 1.64v
    Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3
    MSI Radeon HD5850 Twin Frozr II, OC @ 850/1200
    Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Card
    2 hard drives - Samsung Spinpoint F3 and an older Spinpoint
    About 5 USB Devices

    I know it's not going to be hungry for 600w, but I'd really like to cover my ass in that department so I'd be wanting at least a 600w PSU for future upgrading and possibly using the same PSU in a future build.

    Thanks all

    The Antec is a good PSU made by Seasonic but is semi-modular. The Coolermaster Silent Pro M is made by Enhance and is more efficient and has less hard wired cables than the Antec.

    the coolermaster for me its slightly more efficient and it has a single 12V rail instead of lots of 12V rails thats just my preference though

    Re: Power supply died... which replacement?

    The Coolermasters were on today only at scan, so I went ahead and got the 700w one for £69.50 (rather conveniently this one's max efficiency - 92% - is reached at just about 50% load - or 330ish watts - which is about what my comp draws under load).

    Pleased as punch so far, I've been able to crank up my overclocks a little too.

    Thanks for the help guys
